His Excellency, Charles M. Floyd, 
Governor of New Hampshire. 
Sir: 
Agreeable to a resolution of the governor and council, I 
have the honor to submit the manuscript of a bulletin upon 
the Gipsy and Brown-tail Moths in New Hampshire, to be 
published as Bulletin 136 of this station. 
I am indebted to Mr. George E. Merrill of Hampton 
Falls, N. H., for the account of the work against the gipsy- 
moth during the summer and early fall of 1907 and the 
present conditions in the coast towns ; and to Dr. L. 0. How- 
ard, chief of the Bureau of Entomology, U. S. Department 
of Agriculture, through whose courtesy Mr. D. M. Rogers, 
in charge of the gipsy moth work, has furnished me with 
the record of the infestations found by their scouts up to 
date. 
Yours very respectfully, 
E. Dwight Sanderson, Director. 
New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station, 
Durham, New Hampshire. 
January 23, 1908.
